UnitedHealthcare today celebrated the 20th anniversary of its Asian Initiatives and the establishment of its first retail store in New York’s Chinatown that has served thousands of Asian Americans in New York and New Jersey.

UnitedHealthcare has been providing in-language insurance and health support services to Asian Americans in New York and New Jersey for two decades. The company opened its first health benefits store in 1994 at 202 Canal St. in Chinatown, relocating to 168 Centre St. in 2013. In 2011, UnitedHealthcare opened its first health benefits consumer-support center in Queens that became the model for additional stores nationwide, including one in Edison, N.J., that opened last year to support the growing Asian-American community there.
